Identify the Organic Compound with Molecular Formula C8H16O2- Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
An Organic Compound 'A' molecular formula C8H16O2 was hydrolyzed with dilute H2SO4 to give a carboxylic acid 'B' and an alcohol 'C.' Oxidation of 'C' with chromic acid also produced 'B.' On dehydration 'C' gives 1-but-ene. Write the equations for the reaction involved.
1) The first step is find out the Degree of Unsaturation (the number of double bonds or the presence of a ring) in the compound.
The formula is,
